That would be CentOS, IMHO. I went through this this weekend. I tried
Fedora Core 4, Ubuntu, etc. on a new laptop I bought for doing development
out and about.

Yeah, I just can't do Fedora. Partly because of the upgrade cycle, and
partly because of stability issues, beta software, etc. I tried it this
weekend. I even tried Ubuntu (which is better IMHO), but eventually my
laptop got slapped with CentOS and... what do you know... CentOS is a fine
laptop OS as long as you don't need stuff like hibernation.
